This is cringe. So much wrong with this. Doesn't he have grownups around him that could figure out how to fund this system in a fair way without him throwing a tantrum on Twitter? Elon, delete this.


> without him throwing a tantrum on Twitter

If someone throws a tantrum alongside making a multimillion-dollar donation, I think I’m fine with it.


I think it's a discount, and he shouldn't flip-flop on it. I'm pretty sure he is not losing money on it and did it as a marketing opportunity. He keeps lying about everything, so who knows, but we shouldn't expect to bow down to him either way. He is not above criticism. Never mind his tantrums, lately he started regurgitating Kremlin talking points and that's an issue.


Sure there's a fair way. Biden could institute that instantly, should have done so months ago. Elon just taking it motivates the Biden administration how? It's childish to think everything should be given to you free.


I think Elon has a Savior complex. Nothing wrong there just a bit cringy. But again he's not a regular business man.


So Elon did find his ADHD meds? Good for him.


By that back-flip, I'd guess that somebody took Elon into a back room and smacked him with a lump of 4 x 2.
